THE DOCTORS
President Davis called the general ses-
sion of the International Medical Congress
to order this morning. Dr. Garnett, chair
man of the executive committee, referred
10 what he termed the ''humiliating exper
fence" of Monday night at the converse
lions when gamins from the sidewalks and
laborers in their working clothes made
their way into the hall among those
invited TO greet and honor the
visitors, and a few of whom STAYED
about the hall as at a country fair, wearing
straw or SLOUGH hats and smoking poor
cigars President Davis then called Prof.
Durant, of Rome, to the chair as vice presi
dent from Italy to preside while his com
patriot from Naples, Pruf. Zemmola should
read the paper of the day. Prof. Durant's
acceptance of the proposition was evident
that the differences of the opening day be-
tween himself and the congress had been
smoothed over
THE FIFTH BATCH.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Hon. w. L.
Scott, of Pennsylvania, returned to the
city this evening from his visit to the pres
ident at Oakview, and was seen by repor
ter of the Associated Press. When asked
whether tariff and reduction of revenue
had been discussed by the president, himself,
Secretary Fairchild and Mr.. Carlisle and
whether any bill had been agreed upon, he
said that this subject, as well as all other
public matters had been talked about and
that while there was no difference of opin-
ion among the gentlemen present as TO the
necessity for an early reduction of the
revenues and taxation no measure
for that purpose had been
agreed upon, and none would be without
consultation with the members belonging
to the majority of the house of representa-
tives. 1t was the opinion of all that were
there that there ought to be a very consid-
cradle reduction at the earliest possible date
after the meeting of congress, but the
manner in which the reductions should be
made was considered only In general way
and no details were agreed upon. This,
he said, was all that could be said about
the SO called conference and the statements
upon the subject going the rounds Of the
press were mere speculstions.
